I didn't realize a lot of that stuff was new. Most of it that stuff was mentioned or covered in the Simplified series so I didn't even think it was new. lol -

It's been several years since I took my ROUTE, but I don't remember any of that stuff being included. At least not emphasized in any kind of way.Iristheangel wrote: »I didn't realize a lot of that stuff was new.

Some of the "new" topics were touched on in the CCNA (MTU, Windowing, Frame Relay, PPP, RIPv2 - was on the CCNA until Oct. 2013, etc...) Some appear to go deeper than CCNA, but in some cases they may just be that Cisco wants to make sure we've retained the material from CCNA.R&S: CCENT → CCNA → CCNP → CCIE [ ]

If you do the current ROUTE or the current SWITCH first, you could just buy the current book. Might be a couple things you have to go back and cover for the TSHOOT later on if you do the new TSHOOT with the current ROUTE or SWITCH.

It looks like the new materials are slowly showing up on Ciscopress and you can already read some with a Safari account.

Does anyone know of books for switch/route/ts.
I am scared to get any now since they will probably change.
Safari.com has the "Rough Cuts" for the new ROUTE and TSHOOT. But, its only the first several chapters (Routing Fundamentals, VPN, EIGRP, and 1 OSPF Chapter) so far. The rest of the OSPF Chapters, BGP, Route Restribution, etc...are still "under development". They don't have the new SWITCH yet.R&S: CCENT → CCNA → CCNP → CCIE [ ]

So. Why is Frame Relay still being tested?
It's not in the CCIE anymore. -

Apparently [or so I've been told,] the US Government still uses it.R&S: CCENT → CCNA → CCNP → CCIE [ ]

We've got a fair amount of 56k frame relay circuits in our environment still. Our primary carrier account rep gets pretty upset when we order new ones though, LOL. -

I see updated books will be ready later this year but I'm hunting on how I can get an early start. Has anyone tried the Cisco E-Learning for NP Route?

Safari has early rough cuts of the books already.
Search for ccnp: Safari
INE has all of the topics covered in their CCIE R&S Training: CCIE Routing & Switching Advanced Technologies Class - INE Which should be more than enough for CCNP.
